Spring Rubber 700 Posted February 23, 2024 Share Posted February 23, 2024 I haven't been watching much Fox Weather lately, but I just tuned in and noticed that the overnight show has been given the Fox Weather @ Night moniker back, and the show is being produced by the control room with a full set of graphics, inserts, and music again. And I noticed that Haley Meier is hosting on a Thursday, which was always one of her days off... So I checked the bio page, and sure enough, Kelly Costa's bio has been de-linked. Her last social media post about Fox Weather seems to be on February 13th. Looking in the past, she tweeted on February 14, 2023 that it was her 1-year mark with Fox Weather. Sounds like she had a two-year deal that was not renewed. This makes sense, as it's seemed like Fox Weather has had very little interest in keeping the Orlando operation going ever since Katie Garner left. Back in June 2023, when they changed Kelly's backdrop from the Orlando skyline to a fake background of the NYC Weather Command area, compounded with the fact that they never hired an Orlando-based replacement for Katie, I had a feeling that their tiny Orlando outfit would come to an end sooner rather than later. Wishing Kelly well on whatever comes next. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18085-fox-weather/page/25/#findComment-294828 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Rubber 700 Posted February 27, 2024 Share Posted February 27, 2024 Looks like the music on the weekday evening version of Fox Weather Live has also been replaced by generic production music.

Weekdays: 5am-9am ET - Fox Weather First - Britta Merwin and Michael Estime (Mon-Tue) / Craig Herrera (Wed-Fri) 9am-12pm ET - Weather Command - Amy Freeze, Stephen Morgan, and a third rotating OCM if available. 12pm-3pm ET - America's Weather Center - Jason Frazer 3pm-6pm ET - Fox Weather Now - Ian Oliver and usually Kendall Smith, sometimes others instead. 6pm-9pm ET - Fox Weather Live - Steve Bender and I guess still Marissa Torres (She's still on maternity leave. During most of her leave, it was Haley Meier Mon-Wed and Kendall Smith Thu-Fri. I think Kiyana Lewis is doing the Mon-Wed editions now that Haley is on the overnight shift.) 9pm-5am ET - Fox Weather @ Night - Haley Meier (endless overnight loop after the first hour is done live) Weekends: 6am-9am ET - Fox Weather First Weekend - Craig Herrera and Kiyana Lewis 9am-???pm ET - Fox Weather Live - I honestly don't know what they're doing with this show anymore. It seems like they're starting long form early at 12pm ET some weekends, while other weekends, they are airing pre-recorded editions of this show several hours into the early afternoon. Hosts are some random combination of Michael Estime, Jane Minar. Bob Van Dillen, and Rick Reichmuth.

Spring Rubber 700 Posted March 5, 2024 Share Posted March 5, 2024 Last week, Kiyana hosted the Monday edition of Fox Weather Live alongside Steve Bender. Steve Bender fell ill and missed Tuesday-Friday. Haley joined Kiyana on Tuesday night during the severe weather coverage. Kiyana hosted mostly solo Wednesday-Friday, with Haley joining her like once per hour. This week, Steve Bender is on a scheduled vacation. Tom Wachs from Fox 6 Milwaukee is filling in for Steve all week long. Not sure what's going on with the assignments, but Kiyana has been doing Monday-Friday last week, and I think possibly this week too. Kendall Smith filled in for Kiyana on weekend mornings both this weekend and the previous weekend.

Spring Rubber 700 Posted March 8, 2024 Share Posted March 8, 2024 They've totally lost their way. They're re-airing the 7pm ET hour right now, including live severe weather warnings and live radar from and hour ago. Ridiculous.

Spring Rubber 700 Posted March 13, 2024 Share Posted March 13, 2024 Marissa Torres is back from maternity leave today, but interestingly, she's on Weather Command and not Fox Weather Live. This makes me wonder if the fact that Kiyana has been "filling in" on Fox Weather Live Mon-Fri for the past several weeks is actually part of a permanent change. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18085-fox-weather/page/25/#findComment-295654 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL she may have requested to shift to mornings for personal reasons? Or perhaps this is her way of easing back in after baby? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18085-fox-weather/page/25/#findComment-295655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megatron81 256 Posted March 18, 2024 Share Posted March 18, 2024 Marissa wants to ease back in or maybe wants to do mornings to be home with family during the nights. I knew Marissa was coming back in March. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18085-fox-weather/page/25/#findComment-295848 Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Town TV Fan 211 Posted March 19, 2024 Share Posted March 19, 2024 Fox Weather modified their weather ticker today. Now the "Live" bug shows the current times in different timezones. It appears Fox Weather likes to make a change to their presentation on Tuesdays...

Spring Rubber 700 Posted March 21, 2024 Share Posted March 21, 2024 Steve Bender is back this week. It appears that Fox Weather Live has been reformatted around Steve as the host, with Kiyana as a contributing meteorologist on the show. It appears that the show has been moved permanently back to Studio W with a ton of walk-and-talk segments similar to Ian Oliver's show. In fact, Kiyana was the contributing meteorologist to both Ian and Steve's shows today. Kendall has remained on Fox Weather First Weekend for the past 4 weekends and has appeared on Weather Command Mon/Tue (and select Wednesdays) alongside her former co-anchor Stephen Morgan for multiple weeks now. Amy started the month on vacation and then went to SXSW on behalf of Fox Weather last week. I'm assuming she'll be back pretty soon. I guess we'll see where Kendall, Marissa, and Kiyana will appear once Amy returns.

Yeah, I've noticed that Amy hasn't been around. There have been no mentions of her on the air. I noticed on her Instagram that she recently posted an old pic of herself in the Fox Weather studio from last hurricane season, while talking about the upcoming hurricane season in her message. However, nowhere in the text of her message did she mention Fox Weather. At the end of the day, I don't know what to make of it. This is the type of stuff you usually see when a network is just letting someone's contract run out, without ever having the intention of bringing them back on the air.

Ive watched a few times and I think Marissa is a great fit on Weather Command with Stephen Morgan. I do think it’s strange there has been no mention of Amy….i like Amy, but I was not a fan of her appearing as a frequent co-host on ‘Outnumbered’ b/c weather is supposed to be the one medium that has no political bias… Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18085-fox-weather/page/25/#findComment-296820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megatron81 256 Posted April 29, 2024 Share Posted April 29, 2024 Amy's bio is still up at Fox Weather Website wouldn't they have scrubbed it if she is leaving Fox Weather or if the contract wasn't renewed. When they leave a place they don't really say other than thank you or leaving because of family the media companies are always hush, hush, hush, & mum about it got to love the commutations business NOT LOL. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18085-fox-weather/page/25/#findComment-296859 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman7885 64 Posted May 9, 2024 Share Posted May 9, 2024 Stephen Morgan and Marissa Torres make a great team on “Weather Command”…. Still no sign or word about Amy Freeze, but hope this team sticks together. If Amy returns it would be great to see her paired with Jason Fraser in the afternoons… 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18085-fox-weather/page/25/#findComment-297050 Share on other sites More sharing options...
